    Default Lesser yellowlegs

    Taken in August in Nova Scotia. Lying on my belly, handholding lens.
    Canon 1DX 600mm 1.4x convertor
    ISO 1600 F 5.6 SS 1/800
    PP: Small crop for comp. Nothing added or cloned. I thought about cloning out the reddish kelp to right of bird's legs.

    I am really digging the shorebird images you get in Nova Scotia. Rocky shorelines and kelp are both things that I do not get in New York City to shoot in. I like the raised foot. Wish you had the birds head angled a touch more away from us so it would be a little more parallel to the back of the camera. The whole image looks to have a yellow cast on my imac. Like it could be reduced 10-20 points. Also I would add 5 points of blacks to the neutrals on the bird.

    Loverly. The YELLOW cast is most evident on the bird ... Love the raised foot.

    Lovely image, the raised foot adds as does the out of focus seaweed. Techs look good to me. Thank you for sharing, Gail.

    I love the walking pose - and of course the low POV is wonderful! Points on the colours noted, but not stand out obvious to me. I couldn't bother with any cloning, it all looks good and natural to me

    My type of low angle!! I like the setting. I agree about yellowish cast, and there are areas in the BG I would give a small dose of NR to. The raised foot adds interest.
